Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 34: Oriole Behind
This bet has undergone great changes as the second brother takes sides.
After all, in this game, the attitudes of the Lin family and the second child determine the development of events to some extent.
With Lao Er's third-level concentration level, no one in Yongzhou Mansion could defeat him at this time.
"The person lying here now is Jiang Hua'er, the grandson of King Qi during the Five Kings Rebellion."
"You, Lu Cheng, claim to be looking for a relative named Jiang, so you are related to the remnants of the Five Kings Rebellion?"
"Today, if you, Lu Cheng, dare to take action, then Jiang Hua'er will die and Qi San'er will die too."
"The two of them died because you destroyed their bodies and destroyed their traces!"
After the second child finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips.
"And everything that happens here will be written down in documents and handed over to the Zong family by Priest Penglai, the headmaster of Luxian Palace in the East China Sea."
"Imperial Envoy Lu Cheng, do you dare to bet that there will be one more name on the God of Killing Order?"
In this mahjong sentence, the addition of the second child directly became Lu Cheng's superior, and directly intercepted the Hu tiles in Qi Saner's hand.
And, he listened.
Taking one step forward is a dead end. If Lu Cheng withdraws at this time, the game can still be saved.
If you push forward rashly, it will definitely be a dead end.
The Zong family gave Liu Ruyu a letter, but the Zong family did not issue an order to Lu Cheng to investigate King Qi.
Therefore, this is also the tyrannical strategy of the conglomerate.
If Lu Cheng had the ability to investigate the Five Kings Rebellion without causing big trouble, that would naturally be the best.
If Lu Cheng didn't have the ability to bring out the Five Kings Rebellion again, I'm afraid he would have to go to the sea again.
Worst case scenario, he, Lu Cheng, might actually become a name on the Killing God Order again.
As expected, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the errands of the family are not that easy to handle.
"Second brother, stop threatening me. Do you really think I dare not touch you?"
"Do you know what I do outside the sea? What do you think I am in Zongjia's heart?"
"Taking a step back, I am still the youngest person in the Cloud Empire to reach the realm of gods. How about you? You have lived for more than sixty years, and you are nothing like that!"
"Today I am going to forcefully take Jiang Hua'er away. Let me see what you can do to stop me!"
Lu Cheng doesn't want to worry about his three-seven-twenty-one, now it's just to see who is faster!
Let's see who is quicker to kill Qi Saner and Jiang Hua'er with three swords, or Lao Lu to save them both.
Although there are differences in realms, the gap between the third level of concentration and the realm of transformation is not as big as imagined.
At least, at this distance, the speed of killing people must be faster than the speed of saving people.
"You don't really think that I dare not kill them."
Lang Sandao's hand was firmly clasped around Qi San'er's neck, and Lu Cheng smiled contemptuously.
"The Beigan branch of the Qianlong Society was completely destroyed by you. You don't even dare to kill Qi San'er. The kindness of a woman is as timid as a mouse!"
"you!"
"Three swords, calm down!"
The calm voice from the second brother made Lang Sandao calm down.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicier.
This second brother does have certain qualities. Lu Cheng's provocative general may be useful to the already broken Lang Sandao.
But for the second-in-command who holds the sure-kill card, the effect may be minimal.
"I have a proposal."
Lu Cheng spread his hands.
"Since no one wants to make things worse, how about we sit down and talk calmly?"
"The Qianlong Society wants to annex the Yuan family. I can help you with this. After all, I think that bastard Yuan Peizhi is also very unhappy."
"Second brother wants to be in charge, that's absolutely fine. I think you are indeed worthy of being the boss."
"Actually, if you think about it, I am the most innocent one. I just want to find Jiang Hua'er to make things clear."
"If I get involved in things like the Five Kings Rebellion, I can guarantee that I will escape unscathed. But if you get involved, you won't be able to deal with it."
Lu Cheng said, taking out ten one million taels of silver notes from his pocket.
"I said 30 million taels on the notice, here is the deposit, 10 million taels, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Regarding Lu Cheng's proposal, Lao Er thought about it for a while and decided that it might not be a bad idea.
Lang Sandao wanted to use Jiang Hua'er's identity to raise funds to suppress the Yuan family. If he had the funds, Jiang Hua'er would not have to touch the hot yam.
His own thoughts are simply to get the upper hand, and other things have nothing to do with him.
Lu Cheng didn't want to disturb the muddy waters between the Yuan family and the Qianlong Society at all. He only wanted Jiang Hua'er as a hot potato.
Speaking of which, if Qi Saner hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have caused the current situation.
"Three swords, kill Qi San'er."
Lang Sandao was not stupid. He understood what Lao Er and Lu Cheng said just now.
Qi San'er is the person in charge of lighting the cannons in this gambling game. If Qi San'er has to bear all this, then there will be no problem for the three of them to escape unscathed.
What's more, Yuan Peizhi is not in Yongzhou Mansion, and Qi San'er is in his hands. Yuan Peizhi cannot protect him at this time.
Thinking of this, Lang San'er crushed Qi San'er's neck with his sword.
Suddenly, the gauze ball blocking Qi San'er's mouth showed a hint of blood, and his body fell limp to the ground.
"Now there are only three of us in this bet."
"Actually, there is another one."
"Liu Ruyu doesn't stand for anyone. My information was not given by her."
After Lu Cheng finished telling what Yang Ming, Mo Lin and Hu Yue had experienced, he threw the 10 million taels of silver notes to Lang Sandao.
Although there is a gap between this amount and 500 million taels, it is still a huge amount of money.
Lang's three swords and Hu cards, quit.
The second child sent Jiang Hua'er out with a palm, and Lu Cheng caught Jiang Hua'er.
Lucheng Hu Pai, quit.
Lang Sandao handed the seal representing the top leader of the Qianlong Society's Beigan distribution to his second son.
Old Erhu card, quit.
Qi San'er is dead, the three families win.
Now, the Lin family has not shown up yet, and at this time, these three families have already pointed their finger at the Yuan family.
Yuan Peizhi, who was rushing to Zhongzhou, felt a chill on his back.
Yuan Peizhi is a smart man. After his Yuan family cheated Lu Cheng of twenty million taels of silver, he naturally had to avoid the limelight for a while.
Qi Saner's stay in Yongzhou Mansion is just a pretense, and Jiang Huaer's life experience has nothing to do with him.
Now that you've got the money, the next thing doesn't seem so important.
Yuan Peizhi, who had taken a short rest at the inn, was drinking tea when a servant handed him a letter from a flying pigeon.
The content of the letter made Yuan Pei's hair stand on end.
"Qi Ke is dead, the head of the Qianlonghui Beigan branch has changed his position, and Lu Cheng has found Jiang Hua'er."
After reading the content of the text message, Yuan Pei dropped the tea cup to the ground angrily.
The second-in-command of the Qianlong Society has taken over, and that bastard Lang Sandao has been eyeing the Yuan family's property for a long time.
If Lu Cheng was willing to pay and the three of them swallowed up the Yuan family's property in Yongzhou Prefecture, he would not even dare to let out a fart like Yuan Pei's.
Qianlonghui, the Yuan family can at best fight with it, but it is impossible to suppress it.
Lu Cheng in Tianheng Mountain, not to mention the group of immortals in Tianheng Mountain, but would he dare to touch a Lu Cheng in the God Transformation Realm?
Once Qi Saner died, Yuan Peizhi now felt like he was forced to eat a pile of cow dung.
The original plan of using Qi San'er to gradually encroach on the Qianlong Club's underground space was gone.
He may even lose all the property in Yongzhou Prefecture. If the fat guys in his family know about this loss, they may have to eat him alive.
"No, we must think of a way..."
Yuan Peizhi thought of a person. If he shamelessly went to ask that ancestor, maybe the Yuan family's business in Yongzhou Prefecture could still be saved.
While the ancestor still has some say in Zhongzhou, we must hurry up and go!
Thinking of this, Yuan Peizhi no longer cared about drinking tea, and hurriedly switched his short legs, got on the carriage and ran towards Zhongzhou.
Lu Cheng had already brought Jiang Hua'er back to the Lin Mansion. In the morning, Yang Ming and others also came to the Lin Mansion and were guests in the Lin Mansion's living room.
After all, they are Lin Ruo's senior brothers, so there is nothing wrong with entertaining them.
Jiang Huaer has been abused to the point where he is no longer human, or in other words, he is almost no longer human.
"Damn it, this Qi San'er is a pervert, a man who actually likes to torture men!"
Lu Cheng's scalp went numb just thinking about it. In the basement of the Lin Mansion, the doctors of the Lin family were treating the bruised Jiang Hua'er.
There were many hidden wounds all over his body, and there were countless scars from being whipped with leather whips.
He was also given drugs and seemed to be put on some instruments of torture.
I have to say that Qi Saner's taste is indeed quite strong.
Recalling the scene where Lang Sandao killed Qi Saner, Lu Cheng actually felt that Lang Sandao did a great job.
Keeping such a pervert would be a disaster.
"Ahem..."
Jiang Huaer coughed twice violently, his body twitched for a while, and then he regained consciousness.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me!"
"Calm down, calm down."
Lu Cheng's true energy penetrated into Jiang Hua'er's body, and a hazy white light flickered from Jiang Hua'er's body veins.
Jiang Huaer still had a lot of toxins soaked in his body. After Lu Cheng used his true energy to circulate in his body, he took a knife and opened a small incision on the belly of his finger.
Black blood flowed from the small mouth, and Jiang Huaer gradually regained consciousness.
"Hey, you're lucky enough to meet me, otherwise you wouldn't know how you would die!"
"Where is this? Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is, who are you?"
Jiang Hua'er gritted his teeth when he saw that the people coming from Lu Cheng were not kind.
"I say you answer the following questions. If you refuse to answer or answer incorrectly, there will be penalties."
Lu Cheng's tone was threatening. In Lu Cheng's hand, a burst of milky white Qi came out, and then gathered on his index finger, and gently touched Jiang Hua'er's forehead.
"First question, who are you, King Qi Jiang Ziyun?"
Jiang Huaer remained silent, and Lu Cheng nodded Jiang Huaer's forehead vigorously.
This moment made him fall into extreme fear, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
The feeling as if the soul has been drained out is ten thousand times more terrifying than the feeling of being flogged on the body!
"Yes...it's my grandpa."
"As for your grandfather, you should be of low seniority. Are you the son of Prince Qi's second son?"
Jiang Huaer nodded.
"What are you doing in Yongzhou Mansion?"
"Looking for... looking for relatives."
Lu Cheng tapped his forehead again, and this time Jiang Huaer rolled his eyes and passed out.
About ten seconds later, Jiang Huaer gasped and recovered.
"Your hand is too cruel."
Lin Xiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and shook his head.
"Hey, Lao Lin, you said you didn't want to see blood. I've already restrained myself."
"I ask again, what are you doing in Yongzhou Mansion?"
"Looking for someone, I'm here to find someone!"
"Who to look for!"
"Looking for Tang Ke, the second head of the Yin Family Tang Clan!"
"What are you looking for him for?"
"My grandpa wants me to ask the Yin family for help! He can't survive in the East China Sea! He's about to die!"
Lu Cheng and Lin Xiao looked at each other. Although various evidences proved that King Qi's family was taken in by Luxian Palace, would Luxian Palace really treat them with courtesy?
I am afraid that Luxian Palace also took a fancy to the things behind King Qi and wanted to know the reason why the five kings became rich.
Judging from Jiang Huaer's appearance, he was not lying.
"What did Luxian Palace do to King Qi?"
"It's not Luxian Palace, it's more..."
Before Jiang Huaer could finish his sentence, he suddenly choked up. A sense of oppression made him afraid to continue.
"Restricted?"
Lu Cheng opened Jiang Huaer's mouth and found a rune under his tongue.
"I can't understand this kind of restriction."
Lu Cheng looked at Jiang Hua'er with a headache.
"Even you can't solve it? Who did it?"
"It's hard to say, but his level is higher than mine."
Lu Cheng was silent. If the Zong family asked him to find out about King Qi, it might be related to Yang Ming's life experience.
So this matter is not only related to Yang Ming's life experience.
There are people at the top of the empire who have ulterior motives.
"I'm a little confused. This layout is a little too complicated."
Lin Xiao scratched his head, and Lu Cheng thought for a while.
"Actually, it's not chaotic. Luxian Palace is just a cover. That old guy from Penglai must have been used as a weapon."
"The things in King Qi's hands are likely to be related to the interests of some people at the top of the empire. So they have all been banned."
"This restriction can only be unlocked at the fourth level."
